Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 683: Important Qualities of a Commander

Zhao Daqiang may not be as brave as his company mate, who must take the lead in every battle, but there may be one thing that several platoons under his command cannot match.

As the commander of the first division's security squad for a long time, he has developed meticulous observation skills and can make decisions in the shortest possible time based on the observed changes in the situation.

This is the most basic quality possessed by a super guard, and it is also one of the reasons why Tang Dao finally chose him.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. A commander who can issue orders decisively under complicated battle conditions may not be the best, but he will never be far behind. Compared to being brave without fear of life and death, Tang Dao is more willing to Try such a low-level commander who needs to command more than a hundred officers and soldiers.

Every decision he makes affects the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

Zhao Daqiang did not disappoint Tang Dao. It was through careful observation that he discovered the artillery shell boxes and bullet boxes exposed in the gaps in the rainproof cloth. He immediately readjusted the battle plan according to the location of the Japanese army's baggage train, leaving the area where the baggage train was located and targeting the Japanese army's baggage train. Japanese infantry carried out key strikes.

Now, after a brief discussion with his subordinates, he stopped talking and kept patrolling the mountain road area where the cart was parked with a telescope.

His eyes gradually came to rest on a Japanese soldier wearing a steel helmet behind a large vehicle.

Although this Japanese soldier did not have a command knife, white gloves, or long military boots, the Japanese soldier hiding behind the car and occasionally exposed to the field of view of the telescope had a pistol case hanging sideways, which was proof of identity.

The power of the short gun on the field battlefield is almost non-existent. It is basically a decoration, but it is definitely a status symbol.

Looking at all the armies in the world, I am afraid that the independent battalion is the only one that equips artillery and machine gunners with pistols, but the colonel and battalion commander always carry a long gun to the battlefield. His company commanders and platoon commanders also follow suit. , either a long gun, a submachine gun or a shell gun.

This is actually because Tang Dao, who was born in the special forces, has a different tactical philosophy. In the special forces brigade to which he belongs, from the captain to the ordinary special forces, everyone is a warrior.

In the Japanese army, in addition to second lieutenants and above, pistols can be issued to officers, senior non-commissioned officers and some special forces can also wear pistols.

But this 'Chang Cao' is obviously something special. Zhao Daqiang can basically tell from the fact that most of the remaining Japanese soldiers are looking in the direction of this Japanese soldier, that this Japanese soldier should be the commander of this remaining Japanese army, at least. Also a second lieutenant.

If this is really the case, this person is quite a formidable opponent.

They did not insist on the so-called honor of the Imperial Japanese Army and carried it to death on the "hot" slope. After the evacuation, they did not immediately hide in the stone mountain reserved for them to hide. Instead, they risked being shattered into pieces and hid in the baggage truck. later.

Obviously, he must have seen that his opponent wanted to seize this batch of baggage and wanted to use it as a life-saving amulet.

"Have the third platoon responsible for intercepting the Japanese troops returned to their positions?" Zhao Daqiang put down the telescope in his hand and asked deputy company commander Zhou Shubin in a deep voice.

"Two minutes ago, they sent word that everyone was in place." Zhou Shubin nodded, but there was a trace of worry on his face. "Company Commander, if you continue to wait like this, if the little devil slows down, we may have to pay a greater price!"

It's normal for Zhou Shubin to have this worry. The so-called beating of a drowned dog means that he should continue to beat his opponent while he is dizzy from a heavy punch. Once he is given time to breathe and perhaps regain some fighting strength, he will pay the price. greater cost.

Previously, he told the second platoon leader, "Daochang Jiang", that there was no rush. That was because he hoped to use mortars to deal with the opponent. The Japanese army's baggage trucks could block bullets, but they had no defense against artillery shells. To deal with this part of the Japanese army, there was no way. It only costs a dozen cannonballs.

But now Zhao Daqiang's meaning is obvious. He wants people and things, which is a bit too difficult.

"Company Lieutenant, look at the current performance of the Japanese, they obviously think so too." Zhao Daqiang calmly shook his head. "And this is what I want. Otherwise, they might just jump over the wall and jump into the ditch without caring. If there are only a few survivors, then even if we kill most of the Japanese and seize the supplies, we won't be able to survive." We failed to complete the task assigned to us by our commander.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shubin's relatively fair face turned red.

He understood what Zhao Daqiang meant. If the Japanese were not left with a little way to survive, then the Japanese would really have to fight for their lives. If a rabbit meets an eagle, it can do a rabbit kicking an eagle. What does it matter if it jumps into a ditch more than ten meters deep? What if I didn't break my leg and run a few times?

The real tactical goal of this ambush is to completely annihilate these Japanese troops.

"However, Lieutenant Commander, you are right to think about it. The little devils are always acting like cowards. It is not a problem for us to just wait and see. There is a saying that the nights are long and the dreams are many. We still have to let them put their heads out and let us take the initiative. Just chop it up with a knife." Zhao Daqiang has been following Liu Yuqing for a long time, and he knows a lot about the way of serving.

Although he refuted the views of his brave company lieutenant, it still gave him enough face.

"Company commander, what do you mean?" Second platoon commander 'Dao Chang Jiang''s face once again showed urgency. That means, boss, just say it! Stop being so pretentious.

"What I mean is, we have given them enough time. We have observed the battlefield situation and have caught our breath. It is time to let the Japanese hiding behind the baggage cart know that they are wrong. We don't care about the so-called baggage. The precious shells and bullets they think are nothing to us." Zhao Daqiang sneered. "If they want to jump into the ditch now, even if they are lucky enough not to break their legs, they can't run away."

The three platoon leaders finally realized that the three infantry squads of the third platoon were running wildly under Zhao Daqiang's command before the battle was over. It turned out that they could not only block the mountain road, but also the deep ditch on the side.

Leaving the baggage cart to give the Japanese a breather was a trap from the beginning, a trap to prevent the Japanese from jumping off the wall.

Zhao Daqiang then ordered: "Fire support platoon, four rounds of rapid fire, ready to shoot the little Japanese soldier on the sixteenth truck. Remember, don't shoot too accurately, shoot him ten meters away, or shoot him in the deep ditch next to him. Kill him in one shot, I'm afraid there will be no more smart Japanese soldiers."

"Okay, just wait and see, company commander!" The platoon leader of the fire support platoon nodded confidently.

Following his order, the two mortar gunners of the fire platoon who had moved the mortars here nervously adjusted the muzzles, and the observer gestured for a long time to ensure that the shells would not blow the target truck and the Japanese soldiers behind it into slag.

It's easy for the shells to miss the target, but it's difficult to scare the target next to it without killing it.

This is like a man and a woman. The man wants to swear that he will only rub against it and never go in.

"Boom boom boom" Four consecutive shells exploded seven or eight meters away from Captain Ozawa Risei.

Two shells fell into a five-meter-wide ditch, and the muffled explosion sounded frightening. One shell fell into a stone mountain eight or nine meters away from the cart, and a burst of smoke and a painful howl were heard. It was the Japanese infantry hiding inside that was unlucky.

The stone mountain can resist bullets, but for this kind of mortar shells that fell from the sky and attacked almost without blind spots, it was simply rape. There was no way to resist and could only passively enjoy it.

What really frightened the Japanese captain was a shell that exploded directly on the mountain road eight meters away from him.

In fact, Ozawa Risou, who had been lying on the ground to avoid the first gunshot, was not hit by the air wave and shrapnel, and it didn't matter that the baggage cart that provided him with concealment was shaken by the air wave.

As the infantry squadron leader responsible for protecting the baggage team along the way, he knew very well what was in the baggage team's cart. This car was a baggage cart he specially selected with canned beef and fish.

It's not that there are canned beef to eat, but that the canned iron cans can resist bullets and don't have to worry about the problem of ammunition explosion.

Ozawa Risou is a smart guy!

But the baggage cart 30 meters away from him is not okay! It is full of infantry artillery shells, at least a hundred rounds.

Once that thing explodes, no one will be alive in this area.

"Damn it, you scared me so much, Wu Dachui, tell your bastards to stay away from the pile of square carts when you fire again."

Not to mention that Captain Ozawa Risou, who was frightened by the bombardment, was afraid, even Zhou Shubin, a brave and desperate man, couldn't help but turn pale at this moment.

The cart that was shaken several times by the air wave was the artillery transporter that Zhao Daqiang had observed earlier.

It's really too dangerous to take millet out of the fire!

Compared to the pale-faced officers, the two artillery squads didn't take it too seriously. Without three-point three-point, how dare they go to Liangshan.

The old gunners were trained in Songjiang City with hundreds of shells. However, with a range of more than 300 meters, it is no problem to ensure the accuracy within 5 meters, not to mention the shooting range.

This may be the legendary barrier between arms!
